Performance of a PV pumping system

Description

Compute every step from solar angles to effective irradiance to calculate the performance of a PV pumping system.

Usage

prodPVPS(lat,
         modeTrk = 'fixed',
         modeRad = 'prom',
         dataRad,
         sample = 'hour',
         keep.night = TRUE,
         sunGeometry = 'michalsky',
         corr, f,
         betaLim = 90, beta = abs(lat)-10, alfa = 0,
         iS = 2, alb = 0.2, horizBright = TRUE, HCPV = FALSE,
         pump , H,
         Pg, converter= list(),
         effSys = list(),
         ...)

Arguments

lat	numeric, latitude (degrees) of the point of the Earth where calculations are needed. It is positive for locations above the Equator.
modeTrk	A character string, describing the tracking method of the generator. See calcGef for details.
modeRad, dataRad	Information about the source data of the global irradiation. See calcG0 for details.
sample, keep.night	See calcSol for details.
sunGeometry	character, method for the sun geometry calculations. See calcSol, fSolD and fSolI.
corr, f	See calcG0 for details.
betaLim, beta, alfa, iS, alb, horizBright, HCPV	See calcGef for details.
pump	A list extracted from pumpCoef
H	Total manometric head (m)
Pg	Nominal power of the PV generator (Wp)
converter	list containing the nominal power of the frequency converter, Pnom, and Ki, vector of three values, coefficients of the efficiency curve.
effSys	list of numeric values with information about the system losses, ModQual average tolerance of the set of modules (%), default value is 3 ModDisp module parameter disperssion losses (%), default value is 2 OhmDC Joule losses due to the DC wiring (%), default value is 1.5 OhmAC Joule losses due to the AC wiring (%), default value is 1.5
...	Additional arguments for calcSol, calcG0 and calcGef.

Details

The calculation of the irradiance on the generator is carried out with the function calcGef. The performance of the PV system is simulated with fPump.

Value

A ProdPVPS object.
